THE BATTERY
THAT GOES TO
EXTREMES
®
EXTREME POWER.
Phenomenal starting power and massive deep
cycle reserve power in one battery!
ODYSSEY ® batteries vs. spiral-wound
designs: 15% more plate surface area!
Some batteries provide enormous cranking
power. Others, deep cycle reserve power.
The revolutionary ODYSSEY® battery is
designed to do both.
How is this possible? The answer begins with
flat plates made of 99.99% pure virgin lead – not
lead alloy. Pure lead plates can be made thinner,
so we can fit more of them in the battery. More
ODYSSEY battery plates mean more plate surface
area. And that means more power – twice as
much as conventional batteries.
In fact, ODYSSEY batteries are capable of
providing engine cranking pulses in excess of
2250 amps for 5 seconds – double to triple that
of equally sized conventional batteries, even
ow temperatures. And they can handle
at very low
rge-discharge cycles to 80% depth of

Unused battery space
Like many popular spiral-wound batteries,
ODYSSEY batteries employ dry cell AGM
technology to contain acid, allowing the
battery to be installed even on its side. But
the densely packed flat plates in an ODYSSEY
battery avoid the “dead space” between
cylinders in a “six-pack” design. The result
is 15% more plate surface area – and that
translates to more power!
INDESTRUCTIBILITY.
Designed and built to last up to 3 times as long.
Thanks to rugged construction and AGM
(Absorbed Glass Mat) design, ODYSSEY ® batteries
have an 8-12 year design life and a 3-10 year
service life. Welded intercell connections enable
Pure Lead Plates
Constructed from 99.99% pure
virgin lead, ODYSSEY battery
plates are extremely thin, so
more of them can fit into the
battery. More lead plates equals
more power.
it to withstand extreme vibration, and AGM design
holds acid in place to prevent spills, even when
installed on its side. And unlike conventional
batteries, ODYSSEY batteries can be stored for
up to 2 years and still be returned to full power.*
Tin Alloy Coated Brass Terminals
Brass terminals coated with a high-quality
tin alloy ensure secure, corrosion-free
cable connections.
Compressed AGM
Plate Separators
Before being inserted into
the case, the Absorbed
Glass Mat plate separators
are compressed by 28% for
extreme vibration resistance.
Not All AGM Batteries
are the Same
To maximise the advantage of AGM
separation, we use 99.9% pure lead
plates. This affords us the enviable
distinction of massive cranking
power combined with deep cyclic
characteristics of 400 cycles to 80%
DOD.
Available Metal Case
Robust Intercell Connections
Built to stringent specifications, cell
connectors are casted to the plates,
and bonded to resist vibration and
eliminate internal sparking.

Optional
height adapter may be used on the

34-PC1500 for installations where a group 24
o
or group 27 is required. Snap the adapter securely
in
into place on the bottom of the 34-PC1500 battery.
In some installations, a 34-PC1500 with this adapter

d
depending on required cable length.
* At 25°C (77°F). Storage times will be even longer at lower temperatures.
Selected ODYSSEY batteries
are available with metal casing
for high heat applications.
Ready out of the box
ODYSSEY batteries are shipped
fully charged. If the ODYSSEY
battery’s voltage is 12.65V or
greater, simply install the battery
in your vehicle and you are ready
to go! If below 12.65V, boost
charge following the instructions
in the ODYSSEY battery Owner’s
Manual and/or Technical Manual.
Putting a boost on the battery will
not damage it, even if its voltage
reads higher than 12.65V.

***Optional Reversed Polarity (L)
WARRANTY:
EnerSys® Energy Products Inc. (“Manufacturer”) warrants its
ODYSSEY® batteries (hereafter referred to as “Battery”) to be free
of defects in material and workmanship for the earlier of (a) the
Applicable Warranty Period or (b) within 400 cycles to 80% depth
of discharge, whichever occurs first. The Applicable Warranty Period
is two (2) years for power sports applications; three (3) years in
automotive, marine, commercial, and industrial applications; and four
(4) years in the case of the 75/86-PC1230, 25-PC1400, 35-PC1400,
34-PC1500, 34M-PC1500, 34/78-PC1500, 65-PC1750, 31-PC2150,
31M-PC2150 and PC2250 batteries. The Applicable Warranty Period
begins from the date of purchase with original receipt, or, if no receipt
is available, from Manufacturer’s shipping date. Within the Applicable
Warranty Period, the Battery will be replaced free of charge if adjustment is necessary due to defect in material or workmanship (not merely
discharged). Simply return the Battery to any authorised ODYSSEY
battery dealer with the original receipt for a replacement. This warranty
may vary from country to country; contact your authorised ODYSSEY
battery wholesaler or dealer for the applicable warranty.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
A. Manufacturer has no obligation under the limited warranty set forth
above in the event the Battery is damaged or destroyed as a result of
one or more of the following:
• Willful abuse or neglect or if the top decorative cover has been
removed.
• Natural forces such as wind, lightning, hail; damage due to fire,
collision, explosion, vandalism, theft, penetration or opening of the
Battery case in any manner.
• Overcharging, undercharging, charging or installing in reverse
polarity, improper maintenance, allowing the Battery to be deeply
discharged via a parasitic load or mishandling of the Battery such
as but not limited to using the terminals for lifting or carrying the
Battery. Trickle chargers that do not have a regulated trickle charge
voltage between 13.5V and 13.8V (no lower than 13.5V and no
higher than 13.8V) will cause early failure of the Battery. Use of such
chargers with the Battery will also void the Battery’s warranty.
• Failure to properly install the Battery or lack of metal jacket for high
temperature or vibration applications.
• Normal deterioration in the electrical qualities or the acceleration
of such deterioration due to conditions that accelerate such
deterioration.
• If the Battery is used for an application that requires higher
cranking power or a greater reserve rating than the Battery is
designed to deliver, or the Battery capacity is less than the Battery
capacity specified by the vehicle manufacturer, or the Battery is
otherwise used in applications for which it was not designed.
B. To obtain warranty service:
1. Return the Battery to any authorised ODYSSEY battery
wholesaler or dealer.
2. If the Battery is determined to be defective for material or
workmanship under terms of this limited warranty, it will be
replaced.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF, AND MANUFACTURER
DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, STATUTORY,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. MANUFACTURER’S EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY
FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY SHALL BE TO REPLACE THE BATTERY
WITHIN THE EFFECTIVE WARRANTY PERIOD. IN NO EVENT SHALL
MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES OF ANY
OTHER KIND, WHETHER DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,
EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR OTHERWISE. NOR SHALL
MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE FOR ANY REMOVAL OR INSTALLATION
EXPENSE, OR THE LOSS OF TIME OR PROFITS.
Some countries and/or states do not allow limitation on how long an
implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, which may vary from
country to country and/or state to state.
